2019 Meeting DrugDiscovery.NET 2022 Meeting

2nd In Silico Toxicology Network Meeting 2020

30 September 2020, 10am-5.30pm (UK time)

On Zoom this year, free to attend, and open to all
(max 300 participants)
Registration closed (capacity reached) as of 7/8 August.
Hashtag: #tox2020

An event (with free registration) to foster the In silico Toxicology Community in the UK and beyond. Scientific contributions are welcome as are those on ongoing work, regulatory aspects, industry perspectives, databases, relevant software, etc. in the field.

This event is meant to stimulate interactions and discussions, hence speakers are asked to present both about successes and applications that work, as well as areas where still further work is needed, in order to truly develop the field in the future.
